HighAltitudeGenerators
High Altitude Generators are specially designed to operate and compensate for reduced oxygen levels at altitudes higher
than4,500ftabovesealevel.BTUandCO2outputs will be reduced because there is less oxygen in the air at high altitudes
(seeSpecicationstable).
A High Altitude Generator may be operated at altitudes as low as 2,500 ft above sea level, but the unit should be tested
before use to ensure all burners ignite correctly and consistently.
